Cousin maggie and Friends cross stitch paper doll

 


So, I don't actually do much cross stitch, I prefer embroidery (mostly because one time I missed a line half way through and didn't notice til I was done!)  But someone donated some old cross stitch magazines to the library and I grabbed them.  To my surprise, I found a paper doll!  This was in Cross Stitch and Country Crafts magazine Novemeber/December 1990. Designed by Robin Clark. It includes a page with finished project and instructions and a pattern page with more instructions.

turnabout dolls




This is a set from 1943 called Turnabout Dolls from Samuel Lowe.  I believe they are reprinted from other sets.  The dolls are double sided and can be flipped (hence turnabout)  I only have three dolls (six if you count both sides) and one is very damaged.  these are very fragile.
